Laying his head on her chest, his face instantly lit up from the radiance she was giving off. Her heart beat called out for him and his lips parted in awe as he determined the rhythm. Sneaking around wasn't fun nor was it easy- ok, maybe it was fun, but it definitely wasn't easy. It caused unwanted stress and lies. Justin wasn't allowed to be around Vanessa at all, but he couldn't help himself. This was Raymond territory, but he definitely didn't care. Vanessa was his and he was hers; her father wasn't going to change that.
There love was starting to remind him of different literary works he had read a year prior to meeting Vanessa, one for certain: Romeo and Juliet. There love was forbidden, but none of that mattered. There was so much passion and love on the line, both knew that and neither one was willing to let it go.

"I think I'm in.." He whispered causing Vanessa to bite her lower lip and look down at him. He knew her eyes were on him so he shook his head, a small chuckle in disbelief escaping from his mouth. He wasn't ready to say those words. It was too soon. Wasn't it? Three little words could change everything, but the timing didn't seem willing to make accommodations for the two.

"Nothing, baby."

"Justin." Vanessa whined as she allowed her fingers to dance along his ribs. A white knit shirt was attached to his built frame.

"What do you want for Christmas?" He directed, changing the topic as he burned a hole into her thigh.

"You." She smirked, causing him to look up at her with twinkling eyes.

"Oh really?"

"Mhm." She nodded. Justin shifted his weight, pushing himself up and replacing his previous position with hers. He towered over her innocently and planted kisses along her neck before nibbling on her ear and then placing a tender kiss on her lips. His right hand rested along her hip, toying at it with a soothing circling motion from his thumb. She found her fingers fiddling with the soft, small hairs along the nape of his neck. A small whimper erupted from her as he pulled away.

"You already have me, baby girl." He whispered against her lips before sitting up and removing himself from her bed. Her chest rose up and then down, slowly. She stared at him for a moment, her eyes glossy with so many emotions. Suddenly, she sat up and reached out for him.

"What do you want for Christmas?"

"Hmm..what do I want?" He joked. Vanessa's fingers traced the outline of Justin's abs while her head lay on the back of his defined shoulder.

"I don't want anything, baby girl. You've given me enough within the span of these few months. Baby, you are my Christmas." He chimed, grabbing her hands and turning around to face her. He allowed a hand to caress her cheek before placing a gentle kiss on her lips.

"You're so corny." She cooed, poking a finger into his chest, causing him to chuckle.

"I must get it from you." He admitted before distancing himself from her them

"I'm serious though. You are all I want this Christmas."

Justin was amusing. Sure, there might have been some truth behind how he just wanted Vanessa for Christmas, but she wanted to give him something that held some type of value. Something he could cherish forever. The two had already gone gift shopping with each other, but ultimately the end goal wasn't to come out with gifts for each other. Justin had spoiled Van so many times, but Vanessa felt as if she hadn't been doing enough to amount to how much he had previously spoiled her. She had an idea though, one he was sure to never forget. She simply hoped it wouldn't backfire on her. It couldn't though? Could it? He was bound to love it. She just needed to have a conversation with his mother, Pattie.

Vanessa knew he had so much potential embedded in him. She wanted him to know she couldn't have been the only one to believe that. She was bound to make sure his voice was heard. She wanted it to be remembered, put on a loop, forever and always and she was going to, with the help of Pattie.

"I think we should make Justin a YouTube channel. He deserves to be heard. He has so much talent and he'll only show it locally if he doesn't have that extra push." Vanessa told Pattie the next time she saw her. Pattie was taken aback that Vanessa was so involved with Justin's future. Her heart instantly grew warm and she was all in. Pattie admitted she always thought of ways to get her son out there, but she was unaware of the outlets or how to even do so.

A talk with Pattie made Vanessa feel like she had atleast one adult on her side, besides Mr.Hunt. Her father didn't act like he was seriously concerned with knowing her as a person, but more so just making sure she got through life and Vanessa's mother, well that was said for.


This Christmas was bound to be amazing however, regardless of her father or thoughts of her mother. She had Justin, Pattie, and friends-to an extent.
